13 million

CNN reports that at least 13 million struggling to feed themselves in this nation. I have not read the fine print, but I am sure if I spent the hours necessary to read it I would find no trace of the the current crop of people in Congress, with Democrat and Republican on that list. I am sure if I spent the time pursuing the study, not one name of a the pay to pray preachers (Con Men) oops I mean preachers, like Osteen, Robertson, Graham, Falwell Jr just too name a few appear on that list. I bet no one cannot member serving in any Cabinet position in the past two decades would be listed. Imagine one person struggling to have at least one healthy meal. In LA and in most cities, major or not, it really isn’t hard to imagine what hungry people look like; just meander down any major thoroughfare and when you are finished shaming the folks asking for food, look at them and consider that inspire of whatever brought them to the streets, they are hungry.

13 million families. It is always good to use the word families, rather than individuals, (first of all the 13 million number would increase and secondly, something more sacred smothers your emotions when you say families. It might be because YOU are from a family or the word family resonates with the American of this nation like Apple Pie,Motherhood and the Flag.  Now hungry families can’t be the same as those street people. Or in fact it could mean the same thing, as in why did they have so many kids when they couldn’t afford to feed themselves, or as in maybe they should just eat the basics, or as in, poor things, i would not want my family to starve.


13 million families struggling to feed themselves in this nation. Who are they, does that matter? Why, does that matter? Could they have avoided this horrible situation in the first place? I have my own family to worry about? If they find God He will intervene. If they continue to vote for the values and morals of the GOP like will get better for them. Talking heads will clear the air regarding this hunger situation. Isn’t this hunger situation a made up issue, after all isn’t CNN fake News. 13 million families times at least 4 in a family is at least 52 million. But then hey the 23 million who  who might be kicked off of affordable health care by Mitch McConnell and his Legion of Doom, seems pale in comparison.
